have_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o her_o widdowhead_n rather_o more_o than_o one_o few_o for_o i_o tell_v you_o my_o father_n leave_v she_o that_o which_o make_v she_o look_v after_o and_o not_o so_o

at_o any_o time_n she_o will_v make_v so_o slender_a reckon_n of_o her_o reputation_n i_o must_v needs_o blame_v her_o folly_n and_o great_a indiscretion_n which_o double_v the_o penalty_n of_o the_o
